Thanks to a chipset supply agreement
with ATI, Intel is certain that the shortages of the past will not
continue in the future. If Intel wants to combat any further inroads
to be made by AMD, this is at least a start. Intel's Core
architecture should take care of the rest. From DigiTimes:

The shortage of Intel chipsets has
driven up rival AMD’s relative market share, as more equivalent
chipsets for AMD-supported motherboards were produced by third-party
suppliers, the sources said. Intel’s resumption of production of
its 865 chipset is considered to be the chip giant’s first move to
disrupt AMD’s share growth, according to the sources.
